The 2027 BMW Championship will be played on August 17-22, 2027, and will bring a field of the top 50 PGA Tour players in the FedExCup standings to Liberty National Golf Club. The tournament dates back to 1899 when it debuted as the Western Open, making it the third-oldest tournament on the PGA Tour schedule, behind only the British Open and U.S. Open. BMW has sponsored the tournament since 2007 when it became the penultimate event of the PGA Tour's FedExCup Playoffs. Since 2007, the BMW Championship has contributed more than $63 million to the Evans Scholars Foundation, the event's charitable beneficiary.

Evans Scholars Foundation

Established by famed amateur golfer Charles "Chick" Evans Jr., the Evans Scholars Foundation provides full housing and tuition college scholarships to high-achieving caddies from across the country. Currently, a record 1,260 caddies are enrolled in 27 universities across the nation as Evans Scholars. The Program, supported by the Western Golf Association, is funded by contributions from more than 43,500 Par Club members, including Evans Scholars Alumni, as well as proceeds from WGA championships.
